Infinite Begins with Giants

Chapter 531 It turns out there is a miracle
There is still a quiet and deep night overhead, but the faint brilliance of the stars seems even more distant.

This is a lonely and desolate wilderness, with dancing red flames burning on the horizon, swords, swords and halberds, axes, hammers and sticks... Weapons of various shapes are inserted on the red rock and soil like tombstones.

Saber stood on the endless red wilderness with her sword in hand.

Her gaze swept across the blood-stained land, and there were many corpses piled up that seemed real and unreal, including knights in silver armor, hideous orcs, warriors in green cloaks, and bloated giants...

The dry wind blew over this battlefield that existed in the past and was deeply imprinted in someone's heart. The faint smell of blood filled the air, making the past sad and heroic still linger.

Saber couldn't help feeling a little dazed.

The ground line is blood red, and the earth as far as the eye can see is also blood red.

The scene of Kamran Hill came to her mind again, the once glorious country was reduced to ruins, and the dead bodies were lying on the hill.

The sight of this little world, this wilderness, pricked the girl's heart.

Although it is still called "Unlimited Sword System", the essence has changed a long time ago, because he is not a "partner of justice", even his original dream is different.

This inherent enchantment manifests the traces of Rennes' previous battles.

There is no honor in it.

Death and blood are everywhere, anger, hatred, unwillingness and unyielding condense on every inch of land.

When Saber came back to her senses, her eyes were flushed.

She bit her lip and stared deeply at the slender figure opposite.

He was standing not far in front of her, his eye-catching white hair was dancing in the wind, his sharp-edged face was as cold and hard as a sculpture, under the cold starlight, his shadow was drawn very long by the burning blood and fire .

The eyes of the two were intertwined, and each other's hearts were not at peace.

"Why, don't you do it?"

Ren's indifferent voice broke the silence. He raised his hand lightly, and hundreds of treasures instantly rose from the ground, surrounding him.

The red rose that destroys demons, the yellow rose that will perish, the distant ravages and tyrants, the indestructible lake, the eternal and distant golden sword, the revolving victory sword, the deviant sword Ea, the lock of the sky, the spiral sword... one piece A snow-white and crystal-clear treasure released a surge of magic power.

These historically famous weapons arched him, making him as powerful as a god of war.

Even though he knew his ability, Saber still felt a little shocked when he stared at the shining treasures.

King Dumao fell into silence. The scene in the inherent barrier and this scene made her calm down a little, and she slowly put down the holy sword in her hand.

Even with the most optimistic judgment, it is impossible for her to defeat Wuming in a short time, at most she can protect herself.As long as he doesn't allow it, she can't get out from here at all.

The point is, she doesn't have faith in the Holy Grail of pollution...it was just a shattered mood swing before.

After a period of unspeakable silence, Saber asked in a deep voice: "Wu Ming, is this... your inherent barrier?"

"Well, I used it to defeat Rider's King's Army, but the scenery here is not very good, I guess you won't like it, I didn't want to show it to you."

Ren folded his hands on his chest, his clear voice seemed a little ethereal.

The corpses of knights all over the ground, as the king of knights, she must think of the ruined Britain, don't you think it's an eyesore?
Artoria looked at him in a daze, and asked after a moment of silence: "Is this why you gave up your ideal?"

The mental imagery landscape often embodies a person's deepest memory or experience.It's easy for her to get a glimpse of part of his past, but his experience seems to be so bad...

"Aren't you curious about my origin? Let me show you part of it, so you don't have to complain that I know your story very well, but you don't know anything about me."

Ren slowly closed his eyes, and a stream of magical power surged from his body.

'Spell - Starry Sky Reflection'

The past reappears, and images of the past emerge from the wilderness.

One left and one right, these are two battlefields.

In the wilderness, the sound of horseshoes approaching from far and near, the tragic breath rushing towards the face, the golden and iron horse, filled with gunpowder smoke, and roaring continuously...

Saber looked slightly stunned, looking at the two battlefields on the left and right.

On the left is a group of knights in white leather armor, surrounded by a group of black orcs. The number of enemies is almost ten times that of them.

Led by a man holding a big sword, the knights drew out their swords and charged towards a certain place with roars.

The battle reached a fever pitch almost instantly, roars and roars continued, blood was mixed with dust, limbs were flying, and the white leather armor was stained red...

On the right, there is a group of soldiers on horseback wearing green cloaks. They drew out their steel knives, and led by a soldier, they charged!
There are those who burst into tears, those who see death as their home, and those who stare with anger... Not all of them are fearless, but no one chooses to back down.

They roared and galloped their horses, almost suicidally rushing towards a giant over ten meters tall covered with animal hair, who turned their backs on their backs, and blood splattered on broken stones...

Soon, the two battles came to an end.

Saber stared at all this intently, her thumbs turned white.

completely annihilated.

Whether it is the knights or the cavalry in green cloaks and strange equipment, they all inevitably stepped into the abyss of destruction.

On the wilderness on the left, the sunset glow dyed half of the sky red, and the knights who fought bravely were outnumbered after all, and their bodies fell in a pool of blood.

In the lava purgatory-like scene, only a young knight stood.

One of his arms was bitten off by an orc, and the other arm was also covered in bones.

The long knife was broken and he lost a lot of blood. He knocked down an orc with all his strength, crushed the orc's throat with his teeth, and the teeth collapsed. Then he stood up with blood on his face and lips.

Under the bloody dusk, the last knight stood in the center of the battlefield, and hundreds of orcs around him rushed towards him like a black tide...

On the wilderness on the right, the ground is full of gravel, bloody horses, and the corpses of soldiers who have lost their vitality.

Relying on the sacrifices of his comrades, a young soldier approached the furry giant.

After he knocked down the giant with a blade, he dragged out the enemy hidden at the back of the giant's neck. With a bloodthirsty expression on his face, he frantically chopped the enemy into a pile of minced meat!
The wilderness became silent, and gusts of wind slowly blew across the blood-stained land.

The last soldier walked alone in the dead battlefield. He lowered his head and couldn't see his expression clearly. He seemed to be trying to find a survivor from the pile of corpses, but only the neighing of dying horses echoed...

Ren opened his dark eyes, and two figures stood beside him.

The knight on the left has blond hair and blue eyes, the soldier on the right has black hair and blue eyes, and the magician in the middle has white hair and black eyes.

The appearance characteristics of the three young people are different, and only the similar eyes prove that they seem to be the same person.

The two battlefields quickly disappeared.

In the wilderness full of swords and soldiers, flames were burning. Ren and Saber stood at both ends of the wilderness. Under the deep night, the two seemed to face each other across the sea of ​​stars.

Saber stared blankly at Wuming, but couldn't see any emotion from his indifferent face.

Although I don't quite understand some details, and I don't know which land and which time and space the story happened.But she knew that all of this was by no means false, it was undoubtedly what he had experienced.

'Just failed twice and you gave up? '

'Knight King, how dare you say it, what do you mean by only failing twice?Maybe one day, after you fail twice, you will give up saving Britain. '

Recalling the conversation on the castle, Saber's body trembled slightly.

Once Britain was destroyed in front of her, she lost the courage and confidence to do it again, and tried to let others try.If it is twice...

It was only then that Arturia realized that she had unintentionally stabbed his deepest and most painful scar.

She could no longer question him harshly, and she didn't know why Wuming had several very different experiences.

But the ending of losing almost everything, leaving only her dying self──she herself knows it all too well.

"This is... the memory of your battles?"

"That's right, maybe... it's not very pleasant."

Saber bit her lip stubbornly, lowered her head: "Wu Ming, I'm sorry, you made a rash comment without knowing it."

Witnessing all the tragic events just now, the girl felt very depressed. On the balcony of the Einzbern Castle, she once criticized him unceremoniously.

"You don't need to apologize at all, just like I never recognized your philosophy, and I was equally unceremonious when I accused you." Ren said calmly.

They are just hurting each other.

One thing he admits is that sometimes he finds her an eyesore, even annoyance.

Because the knight king's experience reminded him that he was just as embarrassed when he was a knight. After losing all his relatives, friends and comrades, he could only regret and lament...

If he could do it all over again, he might also try to change the experience of the Kalan knight world and the giant world, just like Saber pinned his hopes on the Holy Grail.

Arturia was a little speechless.

Only now did she discover that he actually had a good temper, but it was covered up by his poisonous tongue. Of course, it was more accurate to say that he was very rational, and he rarely had extra emotions.

Ren continued in a flat voice:

"Saber, is it really meaningful to deny the history you created and the significance of the battle, and rely on others to do it all over again?"

Artoria remained silent this time.

"There is no need to hand over yourself after death, and you don't need to belittle your own life anymore. With a steady smile, isn't it good to accept this stupid ending?
There is such a fool in front of you. He failed, regretted it, tried again and failed again... and finally accepted his ending calmly. "

With a deep voice echoing in the wilderness, Ren walked up to her step by step, staring at her with deep eyes.

Saber's green eyes gradually lost their brilliance, she slowly lowered her head: "Wu Ming, if the Holy Grail is not polluted, can my hometown be saved?"

The girl's voice was almost desperate.

"Do you know how to save it? The method? The demise of Britain is a point on the fixed tape of the quantum record, which is impossible to change under normal circumstances.

Even if it succeeds, it will only form a Lost Belt.

As for the more stable demise you mentioned, what is your specific method?Let the Holy Grail choose a better person for you, and then repeat history again?
The Holy Grail is not an omnipotent wishing machine at all. Its principle is to use the return of heroic spirits... Due to the formation of a hole in the outside world, the magic power outside the world will flow out.

Nearly unlimited magic power is naturally very useful for magicians.

If the winner's wish is to gain great power, it's easy to get, if the winner's wish is world peace, then... go to sleep.

With the current nature of the Holy Grail, it is very possible to destroy the world and achieve nuclear peace. The same is true for saving Britain, and the ending will only be worse. "

He didn't want to crush her last hope, but she was on the wrong track.

It's not that Saber is necessarily wrong to try to save her hometown, but the "miracle" she pursues simply doesn't have the kind of great power that can grant her redemption.

The rules of this world do not allow certain fixed histories to be changed, and the Holy Grail is not enough to fulfill her wish.

Going on will only slide into the abyss.

"Ugh..."

Saber finally couldn't suppress it, and let out a sob.

She knew that he hadn't lied to her, and that glimmer of hope had been ruthlessly crushed.

Tears welled up in her eyes when she recalled the ideals she wanted to accomplish and the people she wanted to save in the past.

Artoria knelt down on the wilderness, lowering her head to prevent Wuming from seeing her tears of regret.

As early as the moment she drew her sword, she was trying to save the ending of her hometown.

For this reason, she can study hard, deal with state affairs diligently, put aside personal feelings, reward and punish subjects fairly and seriously, and wield a sword to kill invaders mercilessly.

In order for the country to continue, she can also disregard opposition to squeeze the supplies of the village as armaments, allow the knights of the round table to pursue the Holy Grail regardless of danger, refuse to recognize the identity of her bloodline Mordred, and order the execution of poor Gui Neville...

The result was Tristan's departure, Percival's death, Galahad's death for his mission, Lancelot's defection, Gawain's heroic death, and Mordred's rebellion...until Britain was completely destroyed!

Saber wailed silently, and remorse turned into thousands of sharp arrows piercing into her heart.

There was nothing she could save, nothing left of Britain but the blood-stained hills full of corpses.

"Ah, I'm sorry...I'm sorry...I...it's all because of me..." Saber's snow-white cheeks were covered with tears.

Everything is irreparable.

She no longer wiped the falling tears, and cried until her throat choked in this small world isolated from the world.

She doesn't need to act as a king anymore, she can allow herself to show weakness, and she can also allow herself to make a fool of herself... The only witness is a guy who is as embarrassed as her.

Artoria fell to her knees, her eyes covered with tears.

How she wished that there were really miracles in this world, and only miracles could erase her heaviest sins!
Ren's dark eyes were like a pool of stagnant water. At this moment, her pride and dignity were all shattered. The disguise was removed, and what was exposed in front of him was only a helpless and desperate girl.

He had been as desperate as she was.

The sky is still high, and the stars are still out of reach.

The young knight was lying on the ground, looking at the sky under the afterglow, and heard the voice of "miracle" when he was dying, but his consciousness at that time was already blurred.

He finally killed 7 orcs in the decisive battle. Adding the number he killed before, he just completed the main task, so he has the opportunity to go to the world of giants. After killing the giant of beasts, he will go to the world of steam.

It's just that he didn't know it at that time.

And there are many things he doesn't know.

In this inherent enchantment, on this wilderness where corpses are piled up and swords and soldiers are everywhere, there is still a slim hope in this scene full of holes.

When Saber's saddest wail echoed in the wilderness, a kind of "miracle" from the infinite sea of ​​chaos responded to her.

Time and space stagnated, and the entire small world instantly turned into black and white.

The only ones that still retain their colors are Ren and Arturia.

???

A very surprised expression appeared on Ren's face, and he subconsciously touched his heart, while Saber was stunned, and a vast and mighty force that she could not imagine enveloped her.

Right in front of her eyes, the beating words exuded mysterious brilliance and were imprinted in the void.

This kind of text has never been seen before, but she can understand the meaning in an instant──"The miraculous patron's contract, do you accept it?" 』

Ren looked at the contract in a daze, and then a series of information came directly into his mind.

────
For the selection of patrons, a total of three will be selected within ten years, and the next round will start only after all the patrons die or are disconnected.

Patient No. 1 (experimental group) ── Ryan Ackerman.

Patient No. 2 (control group)──is being selected.

3号眷顾者（对照组）──待定。（由于1号眷顾者是被强制契约，根据初始条例004，3号眷顾者将由1号指定。）
Ren: "..."

One thought it was a stand-alone, but I didn't expect it to be a three-row.
